Excavations were undertaken in two areas inside the ringwork known as Camp Green during the winter of 1976-77 and in May 1977. The first excavation showed that the area to the north of the present house, Eastwood, had been destroyed by a late 19th- or early 20th-century timber extension to the house. The second excavation consisted of a cutting through the rampart and down to the ditch. The phasing of this defensive work was revealed but not securely dated.

Some well preserved timbers that appeared to be ancient were sampled for dating. The timbers were in fact relatively modern but valuable dendrochronologically because they helped fill a gap in the data for the growth pattern of timbers over the 17th and 18th centuries in northern England. The Bradbourne timbers help link the modern and medieval chronologies.
